Review

Chap has been living on the streets of London, avoiding social services, when he is spotted and recognized as a missing boy from a newspaper. While he knows that isn't him, everyone else is convinced, so Chap decides to escape his troubles by taking on the other boy's identity. Now he has a home and a family, but also their baggage and the sinister mystery of what actually happened to their missing son.

Both the reader and Chap know from the beginning that this plan is not going to end well, but getting there is full of extra foreboding and danger. It's a beautifully written, twisty read.
